If you could create your own government what types of things would you make legal? What types of things would you make illegal?
How much freedom would the regular person have to do whatever they wanted?
Would there be high or low taxes?
Would the government help out troubled people or leave them to solve their own problems?
Political Ideologies
Political IdeologyA set of beliefs (ideas, assumptions) about how
people act, and how the government and society should be run
Implicit Ideologies
vs.
Reformist Ideologies
use propaganda to keep the rich wealthy, and the poor weak
critique society; describe what a perfect society would be and lay out a way to get there
Socialism All wealth is created
through work Some people don’t
make things, but provide a service
Some people’s jobs are to accumulate wealth
Marxism
Form of Socialism Two classes of people:
Proletariat (workers) and Bourgeoisie (owners) Eventually, the Proletariat will overthrow the
Bourgeoisie
Support the workers’ revolution!
Conservativism There are natural
classes of people Each class has a
God-given job to do
Some people’s jobs are to rule others
Resisting the government is bad
I think rich people should have more
money!
Liberalism Wealth is not
evenly distributed Wealth = value Competition
creates the most equal distribution of wealth
Individual freedom is good
Government is badI think ALL people
should have healthcare, no matter the cost
Anarchism Rulers of states
(governments) hold the power, and they cause the suffering
So there should be no rulers
Society should be run by groups of people with common goals
Social Darwinism
The people that have the best abilities to survive in society will be the most successful
War and poverty are needed to get rid of the least successful people
One race dominating another is natural
I evolved to protect
myself from sharks!
Nationalism
The nation should command the highest form of loyalty of the
individual, and the government has the right to demand anything from
it’s people.
Political ideologies

Homework example:
1. Mankind is naturally divided up into nations; the nation is the only true way to organize people. A nation has its own territory and laws.
2. The nation should be a person’s highest priority; there is nothing more important to a person than the nation – including their own lives.
3. Many problems: attacking other nations because your nation is believed to be best; there is nothing that really lays out what a nation should be; often leads to racism
